SEVENTEENTH MAINE
A Fine Collection of curiosities Of
the Sea.

One of the finest, if not the finest collection
of shells and corals in the State of Maine is
in the cabinet of Captain A. Hall, of Deer
ing. Captain Hall in the course of his long
experiences at sea has collected specimens
from nearly every sea. His corals from the
East and West Indies are remarkably beau
tiful. Captain Hall maintains that the COM
monty accepted theory that coral is formed
by minute animals, is not correct, but that
the coral spray is a vegetable growth, devel-
oping by process similar to that by which
the twigs of a shrub are put forth. His
collection includes some pieces of shell work
remarkable for the care and skill displayed
in the designs and execution. Captain Hall
has also many specimens of minerals, some
of them from the West Indies and similar to
the crystals and stalactites exhibited in the
window of the PRESS counting room some
weeks ago.
